This may be the first bike that I have to read the manual for. An early morning ride beckons but Marrakech might be a stretch before lunch.
Yes, all the reviews commented on the complicated buttons/menus.Another reason for me not to swap !!

180miles in glorious weather. I'm blown away by the way it drops into corners and the S2 setting is a hoot. I'm a true DCT convert and the CarPlay is a real bonus. After seventeen years of being a GSer, I am now an ATASer. Having ridden the 1250GS Rallye/GSA TE and 1290 Super Adv, the Honda was the right call.
I honestly think you need both.
a BMW R1200 / R1250 GSA
and a Honda Africa Twin CRF1000 / CRF1100
One for Summer and touring
One for Winter and Off-roading
I have a test ride booked tomorrow on the CRF1100 DCT (not the adventure sports).
I’ll see how the test ride goes tomorrow and then decide what to do. If I don’t buy now, I may well wait till low mileage examples start to turn up.
Test ride was decent. I loved the bike and the DCT initially took some getting used to, but it's silky smooth. I'm trying to hold out now for a good deal. I'm away for the whole of September also so I'm guessing it might not get used a great deal before next year.

Are you after an ATAS or a standard bike. I know where there is a red DCT pre reg zero miles that could be a good deal , if it’s not been sold already .
I went in to local Honda dealer to look at one of these, before I got chatting the owner said that he didn’t want to offend but he hoped I wasn’t going to ask to PX the GSA as they couldn’t accept them due to poor quality and not able to sell them or get a decent underwritten price.
They have some more demos on the fleet soon and I’ve left my name for a callback next week for a test ride
